Description

Lesley Caldwell

Chair: Jacqui Ferguson

This paper will discuss an area of Winnicott’s interest in the work that takes place in the consulting room, through a focus on two complementary papers: 'The capacity to be alone' (1957) and 'Communicating and not communicating leading to a study of certain opposites' (1963). Neither of these papers contains extensive clinical material but each is clearly embedded in Winnicott’s long experience in the consulting room and his deep engagement with his patients. They also show his wider concern with life after and beyond psychoanalysis. The paper will explore what is required for therapeutic communication, why communicatingis therapeutic, the place of silence in communicating, and the analyst’s respect for the patient’s wish not to communicate.
